Studies on the effect of lignocellulose-active esterases in cleaving LCCs in spruce wood

BackgroundLignin in lignocellulosic materials is covalently linked to cellulose, hemicellulose and other polymers like suberin through ester bonds. These ester-linked complexes significantly hinder the accessibility of lignocellulose-active enzymes, thereby hampering …
